“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

Sean Covey

I think this means that people rather try to fit in with other people to look cool but don’t realize what’s right and better for them rather than just doing what’s wrong.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your tee will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you can-eat buffet.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings. Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with lights. Think Win-Win or no deal.

                   Part 1

A successful student…

… takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all- of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require a significant amount of reading.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that the title control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

       An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. I study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students. Procrastinators are good excuse-makers.
